_Chapter 7_
The door to the monitor room opened revealing Garfield, who rushed over to Nightwing. The former boy wonder was sitting on the desk chair intently watching a screen.
"Hey Nightwing, M'gann wants to know—what are you doing?" the green 13-year-old asked.
"Watching the security footage," Nightwing vaguely replied, his masked eyes not leaving the screen for a moment.
"Of Elle and Zoey?" Gar guessed.
"Yep," Nightwing replied in a zombie-like state as if he was watching television.
"Cool!" Gar said, coming to stand beside Nightwing.
The screen showed the cave completely empty. Everything was normal, nothing unusual was going on.
"How did they come in?" Gar wondered out loud, "Did they just appear out of nowhere?"
The screen was normal for a few more seconds until a bright flash of light surrounded a humanoid figure. Another light appeared as the first one diminished, revealing Elle. The second light revealed Zoey only seconds later.
"They really did just appear? They were telling the truth?" Nightwing murmured to himself questioningly.
"Why wouldn't they be telling the truth?" Gar innocently asked.
Nightwing turned around to give him a slight glare.
"Yeesh, this must be the bat paranoia Bart told me about," Gar muttered, looking away from Nightwing's glare.
The two turned back to the screen to see Elle successfully hacking the computers.
"How did she get through?" Nightwing asked, amazed. Even he couldn't hack that fast through the computers at her age.
"Buurrrrrrn," Gar teased his leader, "Maybe you should have her fix your bat-proof security."
"Don't you have something better to do?"
"Oh yeah, M'gann wanted to know if you would like supper with us tonight."
"I have work to do, going to pull another all-nighter," Nightwing answered, shooing Gar away.

"They're back!" Gar shouted, running out of the room, using their arrival as a distraction to get away from Batman Lite.
Nightwing sighed and walked out of the room to greet the four as well. The whites of his mask widened in a mixture of amazement and horror at the abundance of bags.
"Batgirl, how much did you spend?" he warily asked his crush.
"I don't know, here are the receipts," she shoved the receipts into his hands, trying not to laugh at his expression.
Nightwing mentally added and rounded the numbers together. "Seven hundred dollars?!" Nightwing exclaimed out loud.
"Is that at problem?" Barbara innocently asks, the other girls simply looking on in amusement.
"'Is that a problem?' Of course it's a problem! I remember specifically saying 'hundred dollar limit!' ONE hundred!" Nightwing spazzes, freaking out.
"We did exactly that," Batgirl nonchalantly informs him, enjoying getting on his nerves.
"How?!"
"You didn't specify what you meant by 'one hundred dollar limit,' so we decided one hundred dollars for each girl in different categories of necessities."
Nightwing placed a finger on his temple, trying not to get too upset over it. "What am I going to do with you?" he asks, slightly smirking.
"You know you love me," Barbara replied, smirking.
Nightwing just sighs and walks away, shaking his head.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Zoey exclaims, turning to face her best friend, "You're containing your fangirling, aren't you?" Zoey asks with a smirk.
"Why would you guys be 'fangirling'?" Cassie asks.
"Elle ships Nightwing and Batgirl with her life," Zoey smirks. "And I like them too."
Elle kicks Zoey in the foot. "Shut up already!"
"What?!" Batgirl inquires, very slightly blushing.
Elle continues, ignoring Barbara. "Next time you say something without thinking and it pertains to me, you will wish you hadn't," Elle threatened, darkly glaring at the speedster. Wonder Girl had to look away from the dangerous, almost fire-y glare of Elle's.
"Ohmygosh no, not the fire-glare!" Zoey exclaims, shielding her eyes. "Please don't hurt me; I won't do it again, I PROMISE!"
"Good then," Elle says as she stops her death-defying glare. "Hey what's for supper?" She was immediately cheerful and happy as if nothing ever happened.
"Where did Miss Sunshine come from?" Cassie whispered to Zoey as they followed Elle to the kitchen, Batgirl and Gar followed behind them.
"I'm pretty sure she's slightly bipolar," Zoey whispers back to Cassie, not being very quiet.
"I heard that!"
Zoey stiffened at once. "What, Ellie, we were talking about purple unicorns, that's all!"
Elle grinned with satisfaction. "I thought so!" She cheerfully called back.
-Page Break-
The sun slowly raised in the sky, shining light through the window that Elle and Zoey had left open. Elle opens her eyes to see Zoey still asleep, wrapped in a blanket burrito. Elle slowly smirked at the sight of her sleeping friend.
"Hmm, she pranked me, so I should return the favor,"Elle thought as she hopped out of bed.
She wasn't surprised that Zoey was still asleep. The two girls, along with the younger members of the team, had a rare movie night and stay up late into the morning.
Formulating a plan, the ebony-haired girl walked into the kitchen of Mount Justice, where Cassie was reading at the table.
"Hey Cassie, do you have any sharpies?" Elle asked the blond.
"They're in that red cup on the counter," Cassie replied, pointing over to the cup, "Why do you need it?"
"Oh, just to write on Zo-mething," Elle said while grabbing a sharpie, having almost said Zoey.
"Okay," Cassie suspiciously replies, but doesn't think much of it due to the late night.
Elle went back to the room, sharpie and a bag of Chicken Whizzes in hand, as she perfected the plan in her mind.
"I need to stop by Gar's room," she murmured to herself as she opened the changeling's door quietly.
Gar was missing from the room, his bed unmade. The rest of the room looked like a war zone, action figures and Legos everywhere. Elle crept up to Gar's bed, gazing at the pillow, where she picked up some of Gar's green fur.
"There, now onto Phase II of the plan."
Elle went into the guest room her and Zoey were dwelling in, her supplies at ready. She tiptoed over to the still, sleeping form of Zoey and began Phase II of the plot. She opened the bag of Chicken Whizzes, taking a bite as she uncapped the sharpie. Holding the marker, she delicately drew on Zoey's face with a steady hand. Zoey groaned in her sleep, subconsciously enjoying the "massage" the sharpie was giving her.
Elle mischievously smiled as she capped the Sharpie, now onto Phase III of the prank. She took Gar's fur and sprinkled it on the floor next to Zoey. She then proceeded to finish the bag of Chicken Whizzes.
"Wow! These are really good," Elle commented, dumping the crumbs on the bed sheets and throwing the empty bag on the ground, making it look like it had been hastily thrown away.
"Now Phase IV," she whispered as she climbed back into the bed, still in her new pajamas.
The raven-haired girl closed her eyes and pretended to sleep for a few seconds before slowly opening her grey eyes again. She yawned and stretched, glancing over to Zoey, whose face had been drawn on.
"Zoey, Zoey, wake up!" Elle said, shaking her friend's shoulders.
"Just five more minutes, Mom," Zoey growled.
"Zoey, look at your face!"
"What? Is there a plastic spider on it?"
"No! Just look at it in the mirror!"
Zoey sleepily trudged out of bed and to the mirror that was in the room.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHH!" Zoey screamed in horror at the sight of her face. A big, fat mustache along with two bushy eyebrows had been drawn on her face by sharpie.
At the sound of her screaming, Robin rushed up to the door and knocked loudly.
"Are you guys decent?" Robin politely asked.
"Yeah, you can come in," Elle replied for both of them while Zoey was still processing.
The Boy Wonder opened the door and laughed at the sight of Zoey.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Zoey shouted at Robin.
"Sorry," he says, trying to contain his laughter.
"Who did that to you?" Elle asked, winking at Robin.
"I don't know!" Zoey wailed.
Robin and Elle have a silent conversation with their eyes at this reply, smirking all the while.
"What are you guys doing? I don't speak bat!"
"Just discussing who might have done it," Tim replied, his eyes glinting with mischief behind the mask.
"Robin and I will help you find out who did this," Elle added.
Elle pretended to look around when she "finds" the Chicken Whizzes crumbs. Phase V was coming into effect.
"Zoey, did you have any Chicken Whizzes before bed?" she asked the speedster.
Zoey shook her head.
"Wait a minute. That means Bart must have done it!" Zoey realized. "He's the only one besides me and Jaime that likes Chicken Whizzes."
"Hey look, here's some green fur," Tim mused out loud as he picked up a strand and analyzed it with his computer.
"GARFIELD!" Zoey called out in rage.
"It's Gar's alright," Tim replied after his analysis.
"Yes?" the changeling asked, popping his head into the doorway after hearing Zoey call out his name.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AND BART!" Zoey snarled, slowly stepping towards him.
Gar tried not to giggle at Zoey's makeover.
"What did I do now?" he questioned with a hint of frustration in his voice.
"You know what you did," Zoey said, ready to go into super-speed and charge him.
Gar gulped at the speedster's murderous look and changed into a cheetah, hightailing out as fast as he could. He had to try to stay alive and find Bart. Hopefully Zoey wouldn't murder him before then.
